Since You 've Been Gone Lyrics

Rainbow

Whooaaa
Verse 1:
I get the same old dream, same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes, and in my head
- Thoughts fly back to the break-up
These four walls are closing in
Look at the fix you've put me in!!
Chorus:
Since You've Been Gone, Since You've Been Gone
I'm outta my head, Can't take it
Could I be wrong, but Since You've Been Gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oooohhh - Whhooooaaa - Ooooohhh
Since You've Been Gone
Verse 2:
So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the night-time comes around too soon
- You can't know what you mean to me
Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn
REPEAT CHORUS
Interlude:
If you will come back
Baby you know
You'll never do wrong
REPEAT CHORUS 2X
